“Slaves in Exile”
There are many things in this small passage that don't seem to make sense to a modern mind. Peter is speaking the gospel into a particular time and place. Peter wants to teach us how the Church should engage the state, how the Church should engage injustice and how the Church should engage the way of Jesus Christ.
“Priests in Exile”
We are all priests in exile? What does that mean? God is building a priesthood of believers. A community of redemption. It is only in this priesthood, this community, that we will find the answers to our suffering, our grief, and our pain. We are priests exiled together for the glory of Christ and the life of the world.
“Hope in Exile”
When was the last time you felt hope? As we continue asking, "What is my salvation for?", Peter teaches us that it's so we might hope. But knowing the hope of our salvation requires that we understand that we live in exile, because this world is not our home. When we see the hopeless reality of sin in this world, we experience the hope of what God has done in this world through Jesus Christ.
“The Scarred God”
In this Easter Sunday sermon on John 20 we look at Thomas. Oftentimes people use Thomas as an example of what not to do, so much so that he's called "Doubting Thomas". But doubt comes to us all more easily than we'd like to admit. But John doesn't highlight Thomas as a warning against doubt, he highlights Thomas for his faith in the midst of his doubt. Thomas needed a Scarred God and so do we.
“The Abiding God”
The way that Jesus talks about discipleship is different than the way we think about discipleship. We may be able to say how to find eternal life in Jesus, but what about life now? How do we change and grow and experience the newness of life that Jesus offers us? In this sermon on John 15, Jesus teaches us what it means to abide in him so that we might bear fruit and experience new life.
“The Footwashing God”
Why did Jesus wash his disciples' feet? The footwashing story is central to Christianity and what it means to be followers of Jesus. His display of sacrificial, self-giving love is the example he leaves us to also love another, yet we so often fall short and get stuck in our discipleship. In this sermon on John 13, we look at why Jesus humiliated himself to wash his disciples' feet and what it means for us as followers of this Footwashing God.
“The Silent Sacrifice”
What is the meaning of Judges 19? The downward spiral of Judges culminates in this story in the most horrific chapter in the Bible. The writer wants us to see the depths of evil that have overtaken the people of God. Yet, in the midst of all the depravity and evil, through the silent sacrifice of the woman, Jesus is giving us the blueprint for how he will identify with the suffering and destroy evil. Join us on the journey to study the scripture and grow closer to Christ.
“The Last Idol”
Gideon is a complex character in the Bible. We see him doing righteous acts, but for what reason? Gideon's story shows us that there's an altar buried deep within us, and on top of that altar, is the idol of self. It's the last idol that must be torn down as we learn to consecrate our lives to the Lord.
“The Downward Spiral”
Judges tells the story of what happens when God's people lay aside God's mission. It's the tragic tail of Israel's downward spiral into spiritual decay and corruption. As we begin this series we look at what happened as a result of laying aside God's mission and the destructive cycle it creates.
“The Word”
The Word. It's a lamp unto our feet and light unto our path. In this sermon we begin the new year by reminding ourselves of the importance of God's word. What is it and what is happening when we read it. We hope this sermon encourages you in devoting yourself to reading God's word.
“He Preached Good News”
In Luke 3, John speaks for the first time in the Gospel of Luke and in his first words he calls the crowd a "brood of vipers.” How is John preparing the way for the Lord with this language? His call to repentance awakens a sleepy people of God and he moves them towards being ready for the coming of the Lord. Are you ready for his coming and how does John teach us what that actually means?
Just Believe
In this passage Jesus heals a little girl and a woman who was sick for twelve years. Jesus is turning unbelievers into believers in this passage but the people in this story found way more than they bargained for. Join us on our journey to know God and to walk more closely with Him. For the glory of Christ and the life of the world!
Army of God
The spiritual realm. An invisible evil. The spiritual dimension. We have a hard time with these things don't we? Its easier to just live in the dimension you can see and explain away everything as coincidence, chance, or luck right? But God has placed us on the front lines of a battle that is fought in a dimension we can't see, with weapons that seem powerless to us, with eternal consequences. And we better be ready.
Body of Christ
In this sermon from 1 Corinthians 12 we look at the kind of diversity that God intends for His Church. Paul uses the body analogy in a different way than it was used by the Roman Empire to upend the status quo of thinking about class structure, power, and influence in light of the gospel.
Family of God
We kick off a new sermon series "The Church" by looking at how we are the family of God. As we dig into Ephesians 2 we see the family of God is a blended family of former enemies unified in Jesus Christ. What can we learn from this dysfunctional family? Find out in this sermon on Ephesians 2 and join us on our journey to know, and walk with God.
Forgiveness
How can I not be controlled by your past and let go? Maybe you think you don't need to? How can I let go of what I don't even realize I'm holding on to? How do I forgive? The story of Joseph losing his father Jacob gives us a new perspective on these questions.
Unforgiveness
In Matthew 18 Jesus is talking to a man looking for answers about forgiveness. Jesus sees that his heart is actually unwilling to forgive. Forgiveness is hard isn't it? But it's time to let go. You're not punishing the person who hurt you by your unforgiveness. You're only hurting yourself.
We pray you'll find that forgiveness will transform every aspect of your life! And that you'll find your identity in the one who has forgiven you and not by what evil that's been done to you.
Your Sins Are Forgiven
Nobody talked about forgiveness like Jesus. So often we forget that the radical nature of the forgiveness that we have received in Christ and we are shaped by the outrage culture of our day. In Mark 2, the story of the paralytic lowered through the roof isn't just a healing story, it's actually a forgiveness story. And it reminds us of the beautiful and life-changing nature of Christ's forgiveness towards us.
Be Still And Know
The Psalms teach us that worship is not about escaping your problems, but finding God in your problems. Psalm 46 is written by a psalmist looking for stability in his life, but the waves of life keep coming. How does he find stability so powerful it removes his fear?
Fruit / Foundation
Jesus closes the Sermon on the Mount with a warning about false prophets. He asks us, “Whose voice do you listen to?” False prophets are a reality that we often don’t consider, but Jesus says they are deceptive and come to us in sheep’s clothing. Why does Jesus close his Sermon with this warning and what does he call us to do as his followers?
